This is important to keep in mind while playing the game on Linux don't think "this is literally unplayable" because you have a crash now and then. Even with anti-crash mods and bug-fixing patches, the game can and will crash on you. 7 8īefore I begin by diving into the details, it's also worth noting that this game is known to be unstable even on Windows. I'm playing with a copy of the game I bought from GOG.com You can probably also play with the Steam version, but the GOG copy nicely comes pre-patched with the noteable "4GB Patch" which is good for stability even on Windows. Setting the game up was a simple affair, but some manual intervention ended up being needed. 6 It isn't game breaking, though it can be distracting depending on your own preference. And yes, the game is in fact so good that is worth it to deal with this.Īside from crashing, there is the known issue of the "white dot", but that's been something I have been able to just unsee.
So far the DLC add-ons have been a bit less stable, but thanks to an autosaving mod (also discussed below) things aren't as bad as they could be. I was able to play through the entire main game with only a handful of crashes. Mods exist that try to remedy the situation (I discuss those further down), and they largely do. 5 The game can and will crash, and it's not necessarily a problem introduced by wine or Linux. The reasons for this vary on a technical level, but the long and short of it is: the game was released with many issues, many of which were never patched. Even on Windows, this game is known for crashing to desktop (CTD). Nnowadays things work well more often than not! But just how much effort was needed to get this going?īefore proceeding, it's worth taking a moment to discuss stability. You may be thinking: "why would I play a game on Linux if it takes more than a click?" That isn't usually a problem for me I personally don't mind a bit (or even a lot more than a bit) of effort if I know it's going to mean I can have an enjoyable experience. If you never played a Fallout game before, but you enjoy immersive RPGs that offer incredible depth in gameplay, choice, and replayability, then look no further! But be warned: this game is not for faint of heart. But nowdays it's easy to get the game up and running with wine and a few related tools. If I had tried to run the game with wine I most likely would have had a very bad time. 3Īt the time of the release of New Vegas I didn't really have a great gaming rig, so I ended up playing it on a Playstation 3. Made by industry greats Obsidian Entertainment in 2010 1 2 if you're already a fan of previous Fallout games, this one ties into the series' origins in many ways (as well as an alternate future for the series, made reality by the sheer existence of New Vegas). I'd call Fallout: New Vegas an RPG masterpiece.
